KBH 7 Posted October 24, 2010 Supposed to be gen from the late 70's. I bought it from a reputable seller but on eBay, who really knows. It was right around $100 for the strap and $100 for the buckle. From two different sellers. I also have a rep buckle just like it, other than the markings and it's already peeling the gold plate off. That watch was a first attempt at putting a gen dial in a rep case. After that marginal success I moved on to gen cases and ended up with these three. The silver now has a gen jubilee bracelet from the proper period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pentax 0 Posted November 2, 2010 pictures sent by the Watch maker Case back and Bezel Casing with Movement and Dial What do you all Think !! I am just concerned that the top body is not polished like the new models is it easy to have it polished once I get the Watch?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dingle 57 Posted November 2, 2010 I think it looks awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted November 2, 2010 WOW! Looks good. I don't know about the polishing. Didn't know the new ones were polished. That particular dial reminds me more of the older Rolexes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prestigewatchco 2 Posted November 2, 2010 I have a 2005 model and the sides are only part of the case polished Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pentax 0 Posted November 2, 2010 Db and KBH I am happy that you guys like it :-) I just hope that it does not get stuck at some customs :-( Once I get the Watch I will send better pictures and also complete with leather band, If I get it I am also planning on adding a Kevlar black strap so that I can also use it in the Water... Re: Polished model if you look at Rolex case 188205 the whole body is polished or am I thinking Wrong? Thanks Pentax Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NFleischer 4,355 Posted November 2, 2010 Yes, I think the lugs need to be finoshed abit more. Does look good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pentax 0 Posted November 2, 2010 Yes, I think the lugs need to be finoshed abit more. Does look good! Do you mean polished or filed down ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted November 2, 2010 Yes, I think the lugs need to be finoshed abit more. Does look good! Do you mean polished or filed down ? Honestly, I'm not sure if the older 36mm gold gen DD/DJ had polished lugs. I think at least some more finishing with a nice brushed/satin finish if that's what it should have. For example, the picture on page 1 seems to have polished lugs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For example, the picture on page 1 seems to have polished lugs. Yes the picture on page one is the newer model 118205 if you google it you will see that they all have polished lugs or all the newer presidents have polished lugs.
